Using precise diagnostic techniques, our team identifies the source of spine, joint, or nerve pain and develops individualized therapies to address it.

Conditions We Treat with Interventional Pain Management

OrthoTexas offers interventional pain management for a wide range of spine, joint, and nerve conditions, helping patients reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and maintain an active lifestyle. Our fellowship-trained pain specialists use precise diagnostic techniques to identify the source of pain and develop targeted, non-surgical treatment plans. Below are the high-value conditions commonly treated at OrthoTexas. 

Herniated discs occur when the soft cushioning between vertebrae bulges or ruptures, compressing nearby nerves. This can cause radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the back, legs, or arms, depending on the affected area. Interventional treatments help relieve nerve irritation and restore function.

Spinal stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress nerves and cause pain, weakness, or numbness in the back, legs, or arms. Targeted injections and other non-surgical therapies can reduce inflammation and improve mobility.

Sciatica and radiculopathy result from nerve inflammation or compression, producing burning, shooting, or radiating pain along the affected nerve path. Interventional techniques focus on reducing nerve irritation and managing symptoms.

Degeneration or arthritis of the small facet joints in the spine can cause localized back or neck pain and limit motion. Treatments like facet joint injections or nerve blocks help relieve discomfort and restore function.

SI joint dysfunction arises from pelvic instability or inflammation, often causing lower back, hip, or buttock pain. Targeted injections and interventional procedures help reduce inflammation and improve joint stability.

Persistent pain in the back or neck can result from degenerative disc disease, arthritis, or other structural issues. Interventional pain management focuses on reducing chronic symptoms and improving quality of life.

Arthritis in the hip, knee, or shoulder can limit mobility and cause significant discomfort. Precision-guided injections and other non-surgical treatments help relieve inflammation, reduce pain, and maintain joint function.

CRPS is a neuropathic pain condition that may develop after an injury or surgery, causing severe, persistent pain. Specialized interventional therapies at OrthoTexas are tailored to manage this complex condition effectively. 

Conditions like carpal tunnel or cubital tunnel syndrome occur when nerves are compressed, causing tingling, numbness, or weakness in the hands or arms. Targeted injections and minimally invasive procedures can relieve pressure and restore function. 

Persistent pain following orthopedic or spine surgery can be managed with precision-guided interventions. These treatments help reduce inflammation, control discomfort, and support recovery. 

Myofascial pain, tendonitis, and other soft tissue conditions can limit mobility and cause chronic discomfort. Interventional therapies, including injections and guided procedures, address inflammation and promote healing. 

Vertebral compression fractures or other bone injuries related to osteoporosis can cause severe back pain and reduced function. Minimally invasive procedures, such as vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, help stabilize fractures and relieve pain. 

Interventional Pain Management Treatments We Offer

OrthoTexas provides a comprehensive range of minimally invasive interventional pain management treatments designed to diagnose, target, and relieve spine, joint, and nerve pain. Performed by fellowship-trained pain specialists, these procedures use advanced imaging guidance to ensure precise placement and maximize effectiveness. Each treatment is evidence-based, offering proven relief while helping patients avoid or delay surgery and regain mobility. 

Epidural Steroid Injections (Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar)

Epidural steroid injections deliver medication directly around inflamed spinal nerves to reduce nerve-related pain and inflammation in the neck, mid-back, or lower back. 

Medial Branch Blocks & Facet Joint Injections

These injections serve both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes by targeting small facet joints in the spine, helping determine the source of pain while providing relief from arthritis or degeneration-related discomfort. 

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

RFA uses heat to selectively disrupt nerves transmitting pain signals from facet joints, offering longer-lasting relief for chronic back or neck pain compared to temporary injections. 

SI Joint Injections

Targeted injections for the sacroiliac (SI) joint reduce inflammation and relieve lower back, hip, or pelvic pain associated with joint dysfunction. 

Joint Injections (Knee, Shoulder, Hip)

Precision-guided joint injections, including corticosteroids or viscosupplementation, help reduce arthritis-related pain, improve mobility, and support recovery while minimizing systemic side effects. 

Nerve Blocks

Temporary nerve blocks interrupt pain signals to help diagnose the source of discomfort or provide short-term relief while longer-term treatment is planned. 

Trigger Point Injections

Used for muscular pain and tension knots in the back, shoulders, and neck, trigger point injections deliver medication directly into affected muscle areas to reduce inflammation and relieve discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Interventional pain management involves minimally invasive, targeted treatments designed to relieve spine, joint, and nerve pain. These procedures, often performed with advanced imaging guidance, include injections, nerve blocks, and other techniques that address the source of pain while supporting non-surgical care.

The duration of pain relief from injections varies by the type of procedure, the condition being treated, and individual patient factors. Some injections provide temporary relief for a few weeks, while others, such as radiofrequency ablation, may offer longer-lasting improvement. Your specialist will discuss what to expect based on your unique situation.

You should consider seeing a pain management specialist if you experience chronic pain, radiating nerve symptoms (such as numbness, tingling, or burning), or if conservative treatments like physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle modifications have not provided adequate relief. Early consultation can help prevent worsening symptoms and improve long-term outcomes.

Yes. Interventional procedures at OrthoTexas are performed by fellowship-trained, board-certified specialists using advanced imaging guidance to ensure precision and minimize risk. Strict safety protocols are followed for every procedure, and patients are closely monitored before, during, and after treatment. 

Many patients experience significant relief from interventional pain procedures and can avoid or delay surgery. However, some conditions may eventually require surgical intervention. Your pain management specialist works closely with orthopedic and spine surgeons to determine the most appropriate course of care for your individual needs. 

Most procedures are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia or sedation when needed. Patients may feel mild discomfort during needle placement, but the procedures are generally well-tolerated.

Some patients experience immediate relief, while others may notice improvement over several days as inflammation decreases. Your specialist will provide guidance on what to expect for your specific treatment.

 Most patients can resume light daily activities soon after treatment, though strenuous exercise or heavy lifting may be temporarily restricted. Your provider will give personalized post-procedure instructions.

Coverage varies by insurance plan and procedure type. OrthoTexas staff can help you verify benefits and guide you through the scheduling and authorization process. 

Some conditions may require repeat injections or follow-up procedures to maintain pain relief. Your specialist will develop a personalized treatment plan that balances effectiveness and frequency.
